420 FGUS85 KLKN 161137 RVSLKN NVC007-011-013-015-170000- Hydrologic Statement National Weather Service Elko NV 437 AM PDT Thu May 16 2024 ...Warm temperatures continue to accelerate snowmelt on the remaining mountain snowpack, resulting in higher flows on area creeks and rivers... Melting of high elevation snow pack continues to accelerate this week as temperatures rise to around 5 to 10 degrees above normal. Overnight low temperatures at higher elevations where snowpack remains may not fall below freezing for the next several nights. With the increased snow melt and runoff, area rivers and creeks will see enhanced flows. If and when river gauge water levels reach action stage or higher, additional hydrologic products will be issued. Outdoor enthusiasts should use caution as the water is very cold and a person could be swept away by the fast flowing water. $$
